BetzI just prefer going Brussel’s, It is a fafr easier drive IMO that Lille to Namur.
That was why I used to favour that way. Plus Brussels Airport is an OK place for parking with little or no chance of acquiring unwanted passengers. I also had another couple of out of the way parking areas I used. The lay-by frequented by the gay blokes was a good one It was like having your own pink security force as it was so busy with them getting up to whatever the hell they got up to no one could have done anything to your rear without being spotted. By rear I mean the rear of the vehicle.

Habay:
Never been very keen on Habay and only heard brits wanting to fight each other or drink each other under the tables.Just about sum’s Habay up.
Never liked the place. If Belgium had haemorrhoids Habay truckstop is where the Preparation H would be applied. There are better options in that area for parking, the truckstop a few junctions further up was good as very few Brits used it.
